President Palin? Gov. Christie Rolls His Eyes

Faced with the prospect of a President Sarah Palin, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie — the Republican party’s darling from another coast — shook his head and rolled his eyes. “I don’t know, but it’s an amazing world,” he said to “Late Night” show host Jimmy Fallon during a taping on Tuesday.

Christie brought his sharp tongue to the NBC talk show after trading barbs with Fallon via Twitter over his decision to cancel a long-planned project to build a new train tunnel under Hudson River. Fallon had joked that New Yorkers would now have to get to New Jersey as they usually do — by accident.

“You think it’s funny, Jimmy?” Christie challenged Fallon on the show. “You know what we do to people like that in Jersey?”
